Mobile phone blockers in the UK

Idling surfing the interweb last night I looked for mobile phone blockers.
Neat little gadgets, about the size of (ironically) a mobile phone, battery powered and you can just SWITCH THEM ON AND EVERY F*&%*&G MOBILE WITHIN TWENTY METRES OR SO GETS THEIR SIGNAL CUT OFF!!!!!!!!!! TAKE THAT YOU SELFISH, SELF-OBSESSED, LOUD VOICED, WITTERING IDIOTS!!!!

But every site I found had some 'Can't be supplied to the UK unless you have the appropriate license' nonsense on it.

Clearly, me getting one would be for health reasons - it would benefit my health by lowering my blood pressure, and benefit other peoples health as I'm less likely to kill some t*&&$r in a cheap suit on the train home.

Obviously you could get one, and you could use it, but if there's one thing I learnt from Byker Grove, it's don't set up your own pirate radio station in the attic of your local youth club. It could interfere with ambulances.

They're banned because of the safety implications. Imagine next time you're on that train, and you notice 3 burly chavs eyeing you up and realise somethings about to go down, you reach for your phone to call for help...oh wait a mo...

So before we had mobile phones, nobody was safe right?

I'm not talking about using it on late night trains where some woman travelling alone is abuot to get attacked but can't dial 999.

I'm talking about being SO fed up of listening to a million inane conversations every day, by people people too inconsiderate to keep their voices down, or wait 15 minutes and have the conversation in person, that we're considering getting out of London altogether and starting again in Cornwall.

I reckon they ought to fit these fucking things to cars when the engine's running as STANDARD. It's the only way these stupid fucking pricks will stop using their phones whilst driving. Witnessed a particularly dim bitch nearly arse-ram my car last night whilst talking on her phone AND pricking with her hair in the rear view mirror at the same time as moving forward in a queue of traffic...OUTSIDE A COP SHOP!!!

Think about this - the government charged the mobile operators £22bln for 3G licences, and the biggest FTSE companys are mobile operators, and if you've got a pension your future almost certainly depends on their success.

Now, given all those things, do you think that selling gadgets that stop mobile phones from working would be allowed?
